About Auto College Aalborg
Auto College Aalborg is one of Denmark’s largest technical colleges within the motor industry with more than 220 Motor Vehicle Mechanics, and Truck Mechanics being trained by our dedicated teaching staff every year. Despite the name, our education programmes also includes basic introduction to aircrafts and other means of transportation.
Auto College Aalborg offers a wide range of Vocational Education and Training (VET) programmes within the field of Youth Education, leading to nationally approved qualifications and specialisations, which are recognised internationally as well. In addition to this, we deliver a large and versatile selection of continuous and in-service training for employees in the motor industry based on a flexible and market demand driven approach.
At Auto College Aalborg, we currently employ 25 vocational teachers and have at our disposal a modern school in newly built premises with 8,000 m² under roof situated in Nørresundby on the northern side of the Limfjord, which is cutting through Aalborg Municipality. Our training workshops and Open Learning Centres are fitted with top brand motor vehicles and trucks, as well as high tech computer based testing equipment to resemble the realities of the industry, and to create an environment, which is conducive to the learning processes of our young students and adult course participants.
Auto Knowledge Centre Aalborg
In 2000, Auto College Aalborg established Auto Knowledge Centre Aalborg as a designated department for continuous and in-service training for motor mechanics and other qualified professionals from the motor industry in Northern Jutland. The centre provides advice on HRD and competence development both in general and in relation to associated services like Pre-sales Finishing and Car Cosmetics.
A part of Tech College Aalborg
Auto College Aalborg is a part of Tech College Aalborg – previously known as Aalborg Technical College. Founded more than 200 years ago, Tech College Aalborg is one of the largest VET institutions in Denmark. In our new organisational set-up, Tech College Aalborg provides overall management and administration, and delivers cross-cutting service functions to the group of trade related, professional colleges like Auto College Aalborg.
The global challenge
Danish VET colleges have a long tradition of being engaged in international cooperation projects. The idea is to open the minds of both teachers, course participants and students to the world, and to ensure that we equip our graduates with the international competencies which are needed in the globalised labour market.
A Danish support scheme, ‘Work Placement Abroad’ (in Danish “PIU”), makes it possible for Danish VET students to do all – or part of – the company based training included in their chosen VET Programme abroad. Our International Coordinator at Auto College Aalborg is currently promoting the use of this unique opportunity further among our students, and she is continuously working to engage the college in other types of international cooperation projects.
